Investigations were continuing today into a boating tragedy in which a father and son died and a second son was feared to have drowned.

Rescue teams yesterday called off a search for 15-year-old Steven Ridley, of Westleigh, Greater Manchester, who disappeared when a motorboat capsized in Loch Ryan, Dumfries and Galloway, during a fishing trip.

His father, Shaun, 37, died while trying to save Steven and younger brother Michael, 12, who also lost his life in the accident on Saturday afternoon. Michael and his father were alive when they were rescued by a lifeboat crew after drifting for up to five hours, but medics were unable to save them.
